No cannabis farm!! Gutted.

You used the wrong smilie .

Yeah, they're OK most of the time - there's been the odd slanging match every few weeks, but they've managed to keep it to the afternoon or early evening, and also kept it brief. Other than that they're OK - no loud music or blaring TV, and to the best of my knowledge they aren't planning to convert one of the flats into a cannabis farm, like those chaps the other year

And what was the deal here in the end Mr Fitz. Is peace and harmony the order of the day?

I can see where you're coming from, and if it was a one-off or once every few months I'd agree.

All I'm saying is shouty door-slamming neighbours tend to make it a habit. So if a row happens shortly after you or they have just moved in, it's reasonable to assume it will be a regular occurrence, and on that assumption getting the noise abatement officer round at least puts them on notice that their noise hasn't gone unnoticed (which in itself may prompt them to improve their behaviour).

Or just make it worse?

[OwlHoot]

I'm sorry but he heard a one night barny from his neighbours and you are asking to get the council involved.

You will be banging on about the nanny state next week and will not get the irony.

Christ last night my daughter work up at 2am screaming, probably a bad dream, or because it was hot. So my other half went to see her and give her a cuddle.

Well my daughter has started developing a taste for major tantrums and last night had the worst ever. Once placated she was told she couldnt come into bed with us as it was too hot and she had to stay in her bed.

That kicked off a whirling, dervish, violent tantrum(worse ever seen) which saw her kick my wife in the face, through herself around the room and scream and scream and scream. All the windows were open and you can here a conversation outside.

This went on for 20 minutes. The noise around the street would have been horrendous and to be honest a dozen houses would have been able to hear it(didnt think to close all the windows at the time)

We are personally mortified that so many people would be able to hear you're comings & goings. But I dont suppose everyone gives a tulip.

Was it bad for a second night Nick?

Minestrone and Tay - two peas in a pod.

Oh, hang on, Tay said he was in New Zealand - Two peas in an antipod.

God rest his black soul.

Makes me glum.

And with that, when you did get to sleep, did you wet your bed Nick?

[minestrone]

For God's sake, it was 1 night of arguing.

[OwlHoot]

Nobody read those either (tee hee)

Nick if it happens again just complain to the agency. It means they will be in breach of their tenancy. Simples.

Nick, you should have phoned the council noise abatement thingie straight away, last night while the row was in progress.

It _will_ happen again, and again, and again, and the sooner the eviction process is underway the better. Don't give the antisocial bastards any chances.

Oh, and in the meantime these may help (*), seriously. Pop a one of them in each ear, and you'll snore through Judgement Day.

(*) Foam earplugs are useless. But those Quies ones are wax

[MarillionFan]

What's this? Did he open up their leterbox every Monday and shout URLs a them?

Maybe it is. Drug dealers don't have to live in slums and in fact might want to live away from their clients, not to mention being able to afford it. And loud shouting doesn't imply chavs either.

Nick, do they know about the past torturing, maybe you can scare them off.

edit: Also, did you post about the drug dealers before? And are you happy linking to a story which tells us your address?
